OPPOSITION DAY (UN-ALLOTTED DAY)

[Until 7.00 pm]

BORDER CHECKS SUMMER 2011

Edward Miliband

Yvette Cooper

Ms Harriet Harman

Mr Douglas Alexander

Chris Bryant

Ms Rosie Winterton

That this House notes with concern the significant reduction in the level of security and border checks at UK ports of entry
in the summer of 2011; and calls on the Government to publish immediately all relevant Home Office submissions to Ministers,
together with the instructions from Home Office Ministers to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) regarding passport checks in the
summer of 2011 and the relevant operational instructions from UKBA executives to staff and all data collected by the UKBA
on the level of checks at each port of entry since July 2011.

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT, JOBS AND THE ECONOMY

Edward Miliband

Ed Balls

Mr Liam Byrne

Rachel Reeves

Mr Chuka Umunna

Ms Rosie Winterton

That this House believes that the Government’s policies of cutting spending and raising taxes too far and too fast have resulted
in the UK economy flat-lining for 12 months, well before the recent Eurozone crisis; notes that unemployment has reached a
17-year high and youth unemployment has hit a record level of 991,000; further notes that slower growth and higher unemployment
makes it harder to get the deficit down and that the Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts £46 billion more borrowing
than the Government planned; further believes that with long-term youth unemployment up by 64 per cent. since January 2011
it was a mistake to abolish the Future Jobs Fund and urgent action is now required to stop a generation of young people being
lost to worklessness; agrees with the IMF’s warning that ‘consolidating too quickly will hurt the recovery and worsen job
prospects’ and that the Government should have ‘a heightened readiness to respond, particularly if it looks like the economy
is headed for a prolonged period of weak growth and high unemployment’; and calls on the Government to adopt the Opposition’s
five point plan for jobs which includes using funds raised from a tax on bank bonuses to guarantee a job for 100,000 young
people and build 25,000 affordable homes, bringing forward long-term investment projects, temporarily reversing January’s
VAT rise, a one-year cut in VAT to five per cent. on home improvements and a one-year national insurance tax break for every
small firm which takes on extra workers.

The selection of the matters to be debated this day has been made by the Leader of the Opposition.

Proceedings on the Motions in the name of Edward Miliband may continue, though opposed, until 7.00 pm, and will then lapse
if not previously disposed of; and Standing Order No. 41A (Deferred divisions) will not apply (Order of 2 November).
